Excerpt from The Critics of Edmund Spenser Then came the Age of Reason, and England developed a real literary criticism for the first time. When we find Davenant and others complaining about certain defects in the Faerie Queene we must not say, as some have said, that Spenser had fallen into the hands of the Philistines. We must ask ourselves whether these censors had not just cause for complaint and whether their apprev ciation, if less wildly enthusiastic, was not more true for all time. Of course we cannot date the Age of Reason or any other age. We can only say vaguely that Ben Jonson of the rocky face and mountain belly stood like a rock of reason in the very midst of the turbulent ocean of enthusiasm, scarred, sullen, but immov able, a prophet of the age at hand. We can only say that by about the middle of the seventeenth century the seas of enthus iasm were stagnant and the rock of reason stood dominant but not triumphant. For reason has no feelings and therefore never triumphs. England needed an Age of Reason to develop literary criticism as an art. And many of the words written about Spenser in those days will enrich our appreciation of the master. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Excerpt from Edmund Spenser: A Critical Study In such days as these, literary criticism seems trivially remote. But I have been compelled to be loyal to this task by my belief that the two unequivocally reconstructive forces in the world today are the labor movement and those sciences of human society which are just beginning to organize after a fashion similar to that achieved by the once bickering sciences of biology which were at last reconciled and made to move in concert by Darwin. Literature at present has but a tenuous relation with either reconstructive force. But to make an effort, however greping, to merge it organically in both is to obey a categorical imperative. If literary criticism is to exonerate itself from parasitism, from triviality and pedantry in the community of new sciences of man like psychology and ethnology, it must assume a task which is epical in its requirements. First of all it must examine its philosophical implications, particularly those limitations and emancipations revealed by an examination of the problem of consciousness, the problem of knowledge, and logic. And it must make its results as far as possible the coherent fruition of the best that has been thought and said on the topic under con sideration by all the critics of previous ages. Today, although we all recognize the perils of impressionism in literature and long for some sort of restoration of judicial balance, there are nowhere apparent any a priori esthetic canons or even neces sities of thought as distinct from the general necessities of the pure reason and the practical reason long ago established by Kant. But these provide us with nothing like those eternal principles of taste in which the critics of the renaissance and the eighteenth century believed unless we choose to pervert Kant with an admixture of dogma as do some of his professed followers in the realm of metaphysics. As literary men, in an age when all kinds of traditions are on trial, we can avoid irresponsible impressionism only by what has been termed collective criti cism. In consequence I have felt obliged to make my book empirical in the sense that it is an attempt to come to certain conclusions about Spenser only on the basis of a vast number of experiences of other readers of Spenser in every decade from 1579 to 1917. These conclusions of mine may at first sight appear to be iconoclastic; but I think that careful considerationwill show them to have grown with a logical and almost bio logical continuity from many earlier interpretations of Spenser.
